Optional Modules

Optional modules are subject to change from year to year and some modules may be subject to availability / module preregistration.

Optional modules that do not require an unusual option form are those listed in any stream of the third or fourth year of any MMORSE stream or in the third year of BSc MORSE.

An illustrative table of modules that may be listed in other MORSE streams / programmes is shown below.

This was taken at a single snapshot in time - it is not a definitive guide and students are required to check that these modules are still listed in other streams / programmes.
